Ann Lowe
Ann Cole Lowe (1898 – February 25, 1981) was an American fashion designer and the first African American to become a noted fashion designer. Lowe's one-of-a-kind designs were a favorite among high society matrons from the 1920s to the 1960s. In 1953, she designed the ivory silk tafetta wedding dress worn by Jacqueline Bouvier when she married Senator John F. Kennedy.
==Early life==
Lowe was born in Clayton, Alabama, the great granddaughter of a slave woman and an Alabama plantation owner. She had an older sister, Sallie. Lowe's interest in fashion, sewing and designing came from her mother and grandmother, both of whom worked as seamstresses for the first families of Montgomery and other members of high society. Lowe's mother died when Lowe was 16 years old. At the time of her death, Lowe's mother had been working on four ball gowns for the First Lady of Alabama, Elizabeth Kirkman O'Neal. Using the skills she learned from her mother and grandmother, Lowe finished the dresses.
In 1912, she married Lee Cohen with whom she had a son, Arthur Lee. After her marriage, Lowe's husband wanted her to give up working as a seamstress. She complied for a time but left him after she was hired to design a wedding dress for a woman in Florida.〔
